Plastic pry tools

torx set t8 and up

security torx set

inverted torx set

Drill with bit set

Drill bits

Tap and Die

multimeter

Impact crimper for large gauge wire

hammer for use with impact crimper

Pick tools

Pliers and Mini Pliers

Deep Well sockets up to 22mm

Unibit set

Counter sink

ODBII Scan tool

Router with Table (table can be made)

Wireless Impact gun

Shop light corded or cordless

Set of Allen Wrenches preferrably T-Handles ball point

Tool Box in which to store this ****

and that is just the half of it...you will also need knowledge of how vehicles come apart and how to integrate into specific vehicles and to recognize something that so many experienced installers dont realize. Many installs are not nearly as simple as they seem.

thank you very much, this will not be professional work. mainly side jobs for friends/fellow school members give or take. just want to get started because this is something id like to do in the future. i have to start somewhere right?
